RONNIE BENDIS

• there was only one time when ronnie wondered what it would be like to be single. but that was for a grand total of sixty seconds before mari walked into the room and ronnie realized that she was stupid for ever thinking that there could be someone other than marisol for her.
• she has a secret love of the fact that everyone used to think she was the dumb sidekick in high school. because then she got to be a nerd in secret and not have to do everyone’s physics homework.
• ronnie isn’t entirely sure if she wants kids. not because she doesn’t want them or anything, but because she doesn’t want a child to ever be subjected to the bullying that she was subjected to in high school once she came out. but if her and marisol did have kids, ronnie wants to adopt. always.

MARYA KAYAKOVA

• her reputation is everything to her. at juilliard, it’s the only thing left to her since her dancing career was brutally ended and she was stooped to teaching. so her reputation and her teaching job is pretty much everything for her.
• while some former dancers will always try and relive their glory years, marya refuses to do so. in fact, watching old performances makes her cry. and not in the good way. they bring up painful memories.
• she loves old movies. black and white classics. there are only a handful of colour films that she has in her collection. her weekends usually consist of her watching one of those movies with some small meal on fridays, saturdays planning lessons for the next week, and sundays cleaning. sometimes she spends her sundays going somewhere by herself.

ALEKSANDRA GRUJIC

• despite all of the grief she gets for being nikki heat, or just having to have clayton tag along with her, she’d never not make that promise to clayton when she was younger. if it wasn’t for clayton, aleks would not be where she is now. she would probably be just like her mother, a maid in some rich person’s house who doesn’t speak very much english.
• she does kind of like it when ellie is completely inappropriate because that’s just her personality. although, it does give her a little bit of satisfaction that she has enough of an impact on someone to have them change a little bit.
• ellie is the fourth person she has ever had to depend on. first were her parents, and then clayton. and the fact that she’s already lost her dad, and is losing her mother, that really hit it home worse for aleks when ellie let herself get shot. and she frequently thinks about what she could have done to stop it. which kills her so much.
